Socks, a garment or a fashion accessory?
It seems that this item of clothing, so necessary for taking care of your feet, has become one of the most popular fashion accessories these days. The possibilities for combining it with other clothes are almost endless. There are dark ones, colorful ones, striped ones, diamond-patterned ones, plain ones, ones with drawings, etc., etc., etc.
What stands out the most nowadays for being more fashionable are striped socks, and if they have very bright colors, even better.
There are fashions that, although they are successful on the catwalk, do not manage to catch on in the street. Socks, however, seem to have more and more followers every day. Celebrities were the first to join the trend.
But the best thing of all is that this is not a trend that marks a clear social group. This fashion has penetrated from a 100% urban skater to a high-ranking "office worker." The sock fashion has penetrated the whole world.

Although we are not exactly the most qualified to talk about formalities, since it is not our style, I do find it interesting to take into account the following recommendations when wearing socks:
Check that your socks are in good condition. Frequent rotation and friction cause significant wear on the materials they are made of. Elastic yarns deteriorate, losing their flexibility and not sitting firmly in place. Natural yarns such as cotton or wool become riddled with holes or balls, causing them to look sloppy.
- Do not roll or bend them over your ankles.
- Wear dress socks with dress shoes, it is not appropriate to wear athletic socks when wearing smart clothes.
- If you want a classic look, match the colour of your socks to that of your trousers. Although there are different opinions on this subject, if the colour of your socks is similar to that of your trousers, you will not abruptly break the colour effect. If you want a detail that makes you stand out, you can use a striking colour that matches another accessory in your outfit, such as your tie or your pocket square.
- Change your socks from time to time, don't wait for the big toe to come off
Now, this is what many people in the fashion world say, so follow their advice only if you don't have an Indian spirit!! Take risks and do what others think you shouldn't do!!
